That’s pretty sweet, I’ll be watching

Sorry guys, no progress as of yet. I got in a car accident the weekend before last, and the insurance screwed me, so most of my modeling money went to a replacement car. I’ll order some parts for this shortly and get back to it when I can

That’s a lot of cutting, but man is it turning out well. Definitely following this, good work!

Looking good...I’ll be following!

Thanks guys. Bought a 2002 GT convertible yesterday, swapping over all the saleen stuff. Should be cool, just work. As far as the model goes, I’ve had some time today. Little engine work. Got the alternator bracket made earlier, just hadn’t posted it yet. That’s a 6-71 blower, thought it would be a cool center piece, if you will. Still need to make a positive cable for the alternator (well, I already made one in truth, but I lost it), then I’ll mount it to the head and do the belt. You might notice I started using scale Motorsport bolt heads here and there (I think only one on the alternator bracket is visible in the picture). Those things are a pita to use, but they look pretty good once they’re on there.

Ford made a prototype Boss V10 mustang with the mod motors in 99. Maybe do something similar, if you can stuff it in. Could be interesting. Now you have me thinking, Gumball. Anyhow, looking forward to see this. Saw a 1:1 70 torino GT 4x4 on 41s, it was pretty sick. This could be, too

Ain’t that the truth!

Thanks. Nobody got hurt, thank God

I'm not sure how much time I'll have for modeling for a little while. Got in a car accident this morning, totaled my Saleen. I'll get to modeling when I can, but I need to find a another car first.

I don't think it's bad. Maybe sits a little high, but really? It's pretty cool. And that's coming from someone that isn't a batman fan

Don't get me too excited now!

You, my friend, have some strange ideas. I like it. Definitely second Gumball's idea

Thanks guys, it's my favorite too (although I'm a ford guy, believe it or not, so I suppose I would be a bit picky about camaros wouldn't I?). Just got my parts from shapeways, so going to do a little bit of work with the motor tonight. Still need some pe stuff though. It's slow going, but should be pretty cool when it's done

Finished one side of the front, just need to finish replicating it on the other side and then on to the rear. Needs paint, obviously. And no, my shock mounts aren’t ‘correct’, but they work don’t they?

Finally found some time for this. I made the other lower control arm, and remade the upper. The other side upper was giving me issues, so I took a break and moved to interior. Looking at other cars online, I decided to go with custom interior for this. Custom dash and console, no backseat, couple subs, roll bar, and I've got some seats on the way. Here's where I'm at. Still rough, but getting there. Also cut the doors off the car, I'll have to hinge those. As always, comments/questions are welcome.

No progress. After next week's pay check, I'm just going to order a 4 link, probably from futurattraction (thanks for the recommendation there btw). Hopefully have an update in the next couple weeks.

Looks good! Just out of curiosity, are those pens like regular chrome paint where it turns grey if you touch it too much?

Thank you. It's going to take a little more work to get it where I want it, but I'll get it there. Still need to figure out how to get more precise with the rods that the parts pivot on though, I have photoetched nuts, bolt heads, and washers I'd like to use on those for a little added realism. Overkill, no doubt, but should be cool.

I hope so. They're a little smaller diameter than I'd like, but it looks as though I might already have to modify the front tubs (is that the right word? I'm not thinking so) to make it sit as low as I want. Assuming my suspension setup allows it. Why didn't you finish?

Found a little time to work on this today. Working on a tubular front end and the front suspension. I wanted working suspension, and so far so good. Need to replicate on the other side, and make a spindle yet. The kit one is there just for temporary mock up. Also, mind the pliers, they were used to push the spring down so the spindle stayed in place.

Thanks guys. And I have not, I will look into those. I'm a little broke at the moment, since I'm already putting money into my new Saleen...but after a couple pay checks, I might buy a 4 link for it. I'll probably try again at it before that, though. I feel like making it might be a little more rewarding. We shall see.

Yes, that does. Thank you

This is going to be a fun little build. It's AMT's phase III camaro. It'll be dark blue with silver stripes, the baldwin motion body kit, and I'm thinking I'll fuel inject the 454. Maybe supercharge it, too. We'll see. Got these wheels at a local hobby shop for another model, but it turns out that the other model is 1/24 scale and too big for these, but they'll work well here. Also have drilled disc brakes for all corners as well. Probably going to have factory interior otherwise. Keep it looking simple and old school with a slight modern touch. Sorry for the dark picture. As always, comments/suggestions are welcome.

Been super busy lately, haven't made hardly any progress...meant to finish the 4 link yesterday, ended up going car shopping (bought Saleen though, so still a good day). I think I need to find a new way to build that 4 link, my current method is not working very well. At the least I think I need to restart parts of it. I'm also starting another build, since I'm thinking this one is going to take a pretty long time, and I think that the new one will help to motivate me a little bit more. Hopefully have more time for modeling soon.

Awesome! I second on the seats, I've always wondered how people make tears like that
